    DO YOU LOVE CATS & KITTIES ?


    Do you enjoy going for walks in beautiful countryside? Does living away from the noise and bustle of the city not scare you? Then you'll probably be happy here. Couple or 2 friends welcome !

    HELLO !

    I live into a house in Spain. It is an old finca in the countryside with a very beautiful view.
    It is 4 km from a village and 25 km from the sea. (You will have a bicycle)
    It is an old property with a plot of 16,000 m², 500 olive trees and orange trees. The view is magnificent.

    Loving cats is a must. (I have a lot !!! and they are very lovely) . I have also a dog and 5 chickens !

    I offer 5 hours a day for 5 days a week for workawayer work.
    A good open and friendly mentality is required. (I'm cool !)

    Our job here will be to take care of them and their habitat and to cuddle and play with them.

    You'll also have to keep the house clean.

    If you feel like it, there's always the option of working in the garden to stop it turning into a jungle...

    Couples welcome (don't worry: there's always work to be done in a country house! )

    To tell you a bit about myself: I'm a writer, and I work as an employee for a very well-known charity, and I sometimes travel back and forth to France to take a kitten to its new family. ( So I'm very busy and have too little time, for my liking, to look after my cats properly and give them as much time, petting and play as they deserve. Hence my request on this site: to find nice, calm people who will share some quality time with my cats).


    There is a internet connection with mobile phone. The house is energy self-sufficient.

    Meals are included (coffee, bread, jam or nutella in the morning/salad, omelette or sandwich for lunch/full meal in the evening )

    On weekends you can stay at the farm and relax or visit the beautiful surrounding towns (Gandia, Valencia, Alicante).

    For any other information, please contact me.
    Maybe see you soon

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Having lived in Mauritius, Germany, France and Belgium, all these influences play a part in my daily life, from cooking to philosophy to my passion for design and decoration. I love languages and appreciate the opportunity to use my existing ones and learn more.

    Help

    I could also need help for renoving my house.

    This spring I wish to find help for painting (it's a little bit an artistic project) the swimmingpool in "Bali's" colors. And also paint and fit out the koi pond in the area reserved for the swimming pool. Build furniture in the form of breeze-block benches and large planters. In short, to make a magical place out of this space

    On my land there are 500 olive trees and I confess I don't really know what or how to do with them: if anyone has any experience of this, I'd be delighted to hear about it and even share any possible benefits. But experience is required as well as Spanish (at least a good basis). The harvest would take place in November. In this regard, please send me a proposal and project if interested.
